The big screen at the scene played the scene of Zhang Junqi dunking Kendrick Perkins over and over again, and after each play, the live camera would be aimed at Kendrick Perkins.
Fans in the entire Moda Center arena erupted into wild cheers.
"Who the **** am I messing with..."
Kendrick Perkins turned and walked away with a long sigh of relief. This dunk will also become a shadow of his entire career.
The game continues.
Celtics head coach Doc Rivers suddenly walked to the sidelines and gave Garnett a nod.
All the Celtics players on the court saw it, and they all knew what it meant.
In the next round, Ray Allen ran back consecutively through his teammate's pick-and-roll, slid to the bottom line and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.
Switch offense.
Zhang Jun held the ball again, dribbled the ball under his crotch and walked to the right side. Suddenly, he took a lateral digging step to find a breakthrough space, and suddenly accelerated and rushed straight to the basket.
"pretty!"
"The digging step can be regarded as the simplest and most basic movement in the breakthrough footsteps. This is also the most commonly used footstep for many young players at the beginning of learning breakthroughs, but most professional players will disdain to use such a simple footstep on the court."
"But Zhang Jun used it, and used it very well!"
Kenny Smith couldn't help saying in admiration on the commentary stand.
Barkley also nodded repeatedly watching Zhang Jun's breakthrough. He really has a feeling of appreciating the essence of basketball. The charm of simplicity can always be produced leisurely, which makes people's eyes shine.
"Although the digging step is simple, it really tests the timing of the player's two feet after dribbling the ball under the crotch, especially on the professional stage. If this step is not fully mastered, not only will it not confuse the defender, but it is also very easy to be caught. The referee caught it and called a dribbling violation."
The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years! It’s really easy to use. I rely on reading and listening to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here..】
"The rhythm of Zhang Jun's two feet exerting force and moving sideways at the same time is so good, it looks almost like a normal crotch dribble, but the key point is the sudden stop and then the sudden acceleration in the process of his breakthrough."
"Many players only master the skills when breaking through and often ignore the details of dribbling. This stop here is really important."
Many people off the court were amazed at Zhang Jun's breakthrough into a miraculous breakthrough, but the Celtics on the court were already extremely nervous.
Zhang Jun's breakthrough was so strong that even an All-Star player like Paul Pierce could pass in one step, so he could only rely on the inside to help defend.
Kendrick Perkins vowed that he would no longer assist Zhang Jun if he was killed. Fortunately, this important task has been rearranged by Doc Rivers, and now Kevin Garnett is the main defense.
The defensive strategy Garnett chose was not just to lift up. In order to avoid blocking fouls while on the move, he took the initiative to let Zhang Jun enter the inside lane.
"In a place far away from the restricted area, Zhang Jun's threat is much smaller."
Garnett's defensive choices made Zhang Jun very uncomfortable, and he also felt the ability of the most defensive power forward in history.
Step back, lean back!
Zhang Jun could only choose to hit the ball outside, and used a more difficult fadeaway shot.
Garnett jumped high, and although he failed to block the basketball, he managed to put his hand in front of Zhang Jun's eyes to block the shot.
This is the best defensive strategy for a shooter who does not block shots in time. It is not that blindfold defense can really affect shooting. For most shooting masters, as long as he looks behind the basket, he can make a shot even if he closes his eyes. , This is the muscle memory effect brought about by long-term shooting training.
What this defense really affects is the psychology of the shooter.
boom!
The basketball hit the rim and fell into the rim after colliding several times inside.
Garnett glanced at Zhang Jun indifferently and said: "You scored this kind of ball, I admit it, but you don't want to get to the basket again."
At 8 minutes into the first quarter, Zhang Jun began to rest and enter the rotation.
The Celtics also replaced Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen one after another. At this time, the Trail Blazers were led by Luo Yin and Aldridge.
But tonight, the two are obviously not used to the Celtics' suffocating defense, and their offensive shooting percentage is not very high.
At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers trailed 20:22.
In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' shooting lineup came up.
"Steve Blake, James Jones, Channing Frye, these three are the few players in the Trail Blazers who made 40% of their three-pointers."
"Coupled with a flexible center Travis Outlaw, Zhang Jun is like a fish in water with this lineup."
"Since Channing Frye was traded to the Trail Blazers, the offensive firepower of this team's second team has directly rushed to the third place in the league's rotation, and it is only 0.5 points away from the number one Spurs. Difference."
"So, the next step is to see if the Celtics' rotation can defend against the Trail Blazers."
The Celtics are playing at this time point guard Sam Cassell, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward James Posey, power forward Glenn Davis and center P.J. Brown.
Tony Allen didn't talk any trash after he came on the field, he just walked towards Zhang Jun silently, then lowered his head and leaned behind him.
Tony Allen was silent like an unknown ordinary player, but it was not just an ordinary player who was sent by Doc Rivers to defend Zhang Jun.
Game start.
The Blazers launched an offense.
Tony Allen's defense is very steady. He didn't worry about Zhang Jun's breakthrough like other players, so he used the whole court to lead the defense as soon as he came up, and at the same time increased a lot of physical confrontation, so as to consume Zhang Jun's physical strength and affect his strength. Offensive stability.
It wasn't until Zhang Jun passed halftime and Steve Blake, who was holding the ball, started looking for someone and commanding his teammates to set up, Tony Allen suddenly raised it.
He put his back in front of Zhang Jun, staring at Steve Blake's passing line, and Zhang Jun was completely pressed behind him.
Zhang Jun used his strength to run back immediately, Tony Allen turned around and followed up immediately, Steve Blake wanted to pass an alley after a back run, but the Celtics had two giant towers inside power forward Glenn David Smith and center P.J. Brown.
It can only be said that Tony Allen's defensive choice is very correct. He dared to take such a risk with Zhang Jun's back-to-back defense precisely because he observed the positioning of his teammates inside.
Tony Allen didn't make many small defensive moves, but it made Zhang Jun a little uncomfortable. This is a player who completely prevents him from receiving the ball.
"Outlaw!"
Zhang Jun shouted.
Travis Outlaw was no longer acting as a monster before Zach Randolph left, and now he is also focusing on the game. After being reminded by Zhang Jun, he immediately put on the screen .
Zhang Jun used the cover, and Tony Allen went around to cover.
Steve Blake passed the ball boldly and uploaded it to the sky. He believed that Zhang Jun's height and wingspan were much better than Tony Allen, so it should be easy to win the ball.
Zhang Jun had no way to retreat, for this ball he could only lean his body to fight for the basketball.
puff!
The two clicked on the basketball at the same time, and the basketball jumped high.
Zhang Jun took off for the second time, and this time he got the ball completely by virtue of his physical advantage.
"It's not easy."
"Tony Allen's defense was really good."
"Zhang Jun must pay attention to the time, this round only has 10 seconds."
Zhang Jun, who finally caught the ball, encountered Tony Allen’s second fight. The opponent was a player who was very experienced in stealing. His steal defense was different from other players’ shooting. But at the same time his other hand will go from behind the offensive player.
This is like a combination punch. The ball holder will subconsciously protect the ball behind him when facing a fierce press, but the details of such ball protection will be taken out by Tony Allen from behind.
Zhang Jun subconsciously wanted to protect the ball behind him, but he suddenly found that Tony Allen's body was not out of position when he took out the ball.
In other words, this is not a gambling steal, but a backhand!
Zhang Jun quickly took a step back and dribbled the ball to open up space.
Tony Allen was stunned, a little surprised by the opponent's choice of holding the ball.
"You're smarter than Kevin Durant."
Tony Allen, who has always been like a gourd, finally said the first sentence to Zhang Jun.
Before the Celtics played against the Sonics, Durant was directly intercepted three times by Tony Allen in one game.
In his opinion, Zhang Jun is a more detailed ball handler than Durant. No wonder he can become the No. 1 pick, but Durant cannot.
Zhang Jun didn't have time to pay attention to Tony Allen, and immediately made a breakthrough after regaining possession of the ball.
Tony Allen's defense is like a shadow, with speed, strength, and anticipation, and it is not affected by Zhang Jun's dribbling rhythm and breakthrough footsteps.
Faced with such a stalking defense, Zhang Jun chose to rely on Tony Allen to get to the basket.
This style of play is completely unrestricted for the latter, after all, Zhang Jun is taller and faster than Tony Allen.
This style of play is a bit like LeBron James.
But at the same time, the Celtics inside power forward Glenn Davis and center P.J. Brown took a step forward at the same time, which forced Zhang Jun to use a mid-range shot.
Turning around on the move, leaning back for a penalty kick, making a sudden turn fake, and turning sideways for a reverse basket.
Zhang Jun's fake breakthrough this time directly shook Glenn Davis, P.J. Brown and Tony Allen, and scored a layup from a very tricky angle.
"what?"
Doc Rivers off the court frowned and opened his mouth with disbelief.
The Celtics defended until there were only 3 seconds left, so they could still be scored by Zhang Jun, and they were still facing Tony Allen's defense, which really made Doc Rivers a little unbelievable.
Zhang Jun, who scored the goal with difficulty, was asked by Nate McMillan on the sidelines when he retreated.
"Man, do you want to set up a two-man pick-and-roll for you to get rid of Tony Allen's defense?"
Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to single him out!"
Monty Williams, who heard this sentence, frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Jun is still a little too young and energetic. His ability has already been proven, and there is no need to prove himself again with Tony Allen in singles."
"And the defensive pressure given by the opponent is indeed very tyrannical. The high-post double pick-and-roll can bring him more comfortable defensive matchups and singles opportunities. Why doesn't he want it?"
"It can only be said that she is still too young and vigorous."
Nate McMillan shook his head and said, "Then you underestimate him too much. This guy has the top ten basketball IQ among the players I've ever seen. I only know that a player as young as him can have such a basketball IQ." I saw it in James."
"Naturally, high-position double blocks can give Zhang Jun a comfortable chance to attack, but have you forgotten what we are playing now?"
"It's a one-star comeback for the Magic!"
"If Channing Fry and Travis Outlaw go up the pick-and-roll, tell me if Zhang Jun will be double-teamed?"
"Also, the above-mentioned high-post Channing Fur will lose his ability to open the floor after the pick-and-roll. The Celtics only need to send one person to defend him, and the other person can completely lose Tracy, who is not a three-point threat. Weiss Outlaw, double-team Zhang Jun!"
"In this way, the shooting threat at every point in our rotation will be greatly reduced, which is also the biggest shortcoming of the one-star four-shot lineup."
"Without my personal offensive strengths, then one-star four-shot is useless~www.mtlnovel.com~Of course, this reason only accounts for half of Zhang Jun's rejection of my high-position double-block proposal."
Hearing this, Monty Williams widened his eyes in shock and said, "Can he think of so much?"
Nate McMillan nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course not if it's someone else, but if it's Zhang Jun, he must have thought so much."
Monty Williams asked curiously, "What's the other half of the reason?"
Nate McMillan couldn't help laughing helplessly: "What else can you say, he is young and energetic, and he really wants to convince Tony Allen!"
next round.
Faced with Tony Allen's stalking again after halftime, Zhang Jun chose to catch the ball with his back after running back to the baseline.
This way of catching the ball and the choice of catching the ball are not common in Zhang Jun.
Both Steve Blake and Tony Parker were stunned at the same time.
The other players of the Trail Blazers and the coaching staff, Nate McMillan and Monty Williams, were all stunned at the same time.
The catch pick reminded them all of that lonesome isolation paranoid in Los Angeles.
"Blake!"
Under Zhang Jun's yelling reminder, Steve Blake finally came back to his senses and passed the ball.
Zhang Jun, who turned his back to ask for the ball, used Tony Allen's method to use his body to completely push the opponent against him, which also made it very easy for him to receive the ball.
Tony Allen pushed Zhang Jun hard with both hands to prevent him from getting closer to the inside. Although Zhang Jun received the ball in this position, Zhang Jun did not choose to play with a post-up like Kobe. .
Emergency stop fake action, step by step breakthrough after pulling the ball with his back.
"Take off! Dunk!"
"Zhang Jun dunks Tony Allen! This is a solo single without any interference from any player!"
